The Flames add to the 15 defenseman to play in the NHL this season - by having 4 goaltenders play in the NHL this season as well. Nathan Lieuwen made his NHL debut and joins Anders Lee as a Flamette that he was drafted in the HFNHL a year before he was in the NHL. He joins Alex Stalock, Anton Khudobin and James Reimer as NHL players this season.

Sam Brittain has been nominated as a finalist for the inaugural Mike Richter award, for most outstanding goalie in the college ranks.

Well, looks like the HFNHL Abottsford squad will be very deep next year between the pipes! As to the Flamettes, to quote his NHL coach, they may have one goalie that is "Ok".
